•I use:
Finish Kare BWM 101: Hi-Temp
Paste Wax (Formerly known as:
FK 1000P Hi-Temp Paste Wax).
**********************************************
•OK...I don’t want to be misleading:
-This product is actually a blend of
synthetic Waxes—in other words:
-it’s a Sealant that imparts the depth
and shine of Carnauba Waxes, all the
while having the innate characteristics
attributed to Sealants.
Best of both worlds, IMO.

Re: White car
The real shine begins with the paint prep.
If you just slap a wax onto a swirled-out paint and expect a miracle, you will be sorely disappointed.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Re: White car
Griots g9 or g15..... BOSS pads and creams for the win!
This is a hybrid wax from Dodo. Was gifted by Dodo sent all the way from the UK. Good for light colored cars (silver and white). Going to give this a go this week and will let you know what i think.
Durability 4-6 months on dailies.
AG sells Dodo but don’t know if they sell this ad it’s brand new.

Re: White car
When it comes to white - or any color for that matter, like mentioned, the real key is the prep work.
Because white does not exhibit the kind of crisp reflections like you get with dark colors and black, the next aspect to go after is GLOSS.
Gloss comes from a smooth surface. So start with the basics,
- Wash and dry
- CLAY - get the paint as smooth as possible
- Compound and polish
- Seal with your favorite LSP
Claying or getting the surface smooth is what creates gloss. Compounding and polishing create clarity in the paint.
Question
Have you done the baggie test?
IF AJ can do it - anyone can do it.

My experience as well. The most noticeable differences and biggest improvements on the white cars I've worked on all happened long before applying any type of protective product. After claying and polishing the cars looked like they were repainted; probably better than when new. The sealant or coating only made the reflections and gloss a little more crisp. Both looked great.

So I just clayed a silver metallic 2002 Corvette. It almost passed the baggie test - almost. Meaning the paint actually feels very smooth. BUT - because I'm preparing this 2-Door Plastic Fantastic for a car show and it's a LIGHT color, the primary goal will be to maximize gloss - thus I clayed the hell out of it.
Next up - paint correction.
